My definition about a smart pool table:
1) Knows not to make smart alec comments like "Whoops" just when you're making that crucial shot to win the game.
2) Doesn't "eat" your money and give you no balls
3) Doesn't take your money and give you all the balls except one
4) Actually has chalk you don't have to pay for - say on a piece of string
5) Doesn't charge you ridiculous amounts for a game
6) Is too smart to be in a pub
7) Has recently submitted a phD thesis on game theory
